Legislative Branch

The legislative branch is a part of the government responsible for creating laws. It's like the rule-making committee in a game, but instead of game rules, they make the laws everyone in the country needs to follow. In the U.S., this branch includes Congress, which is split into two groups: the House of Representatives, related to a state's population, and the Senate, with two senators per state. They discuss, argue about, and finally vote on new laws. Without them, we wouldn't have formal rules for society.
